The car rolls to a stop outside Nikki’s house. Bear sits behind the wheel for a moment, staring at the broken piece of One Wish Willow in the backseat. He still can’t believe it actually worked. Then he looks up. Nikki is standing outside. She smiles and walks toward the car. Bear: “Hey…” He quickly locks his phone and tries to act normal. Bear: “I, uh… had something for you.” Nikki stops beside the driver’s window, looking at him strangely. Nikki: “You said you had something for me?” Bear: “Yeah. I just… left it at home.” An awkward silence. Bear: “I can bring it to you tomorrow.” Nikki keeps staring at him for a second longer than usual. Bear: “Okay… goodnight.” He reaches for the gear shift. Nikki: “Maybe you wanna come inside?” Bear looks back at her. Nikki: “We could have a drink. Talk for a little.” Something about the way she’s acting suddenly feels… off. Bear: “Nikki… are you okay?” She smiles. Nikki: “Am I okay?” Bear: “Yeah. You just seem… different.” Nikki’s expression changes for half a second. Almost like she doesn’t understand herself either. Nikki: “Wait…” She suddenly laughs under her breath. Nikki: “What the fuck”? Bear stares at her, completely confused. Bear: “Nikki… what the fucku?” She looks at him, then at herself, as if she’s realizing that something is seriously wrong. Nikki: “I’m acting so weird.” Another nervous laugh escapes her. Bear: “Yeah. You really are.” She suddenly grins. Nikki: “This is so weird.” Bear just sits there, watching her. Whatever he wished for… it worked.
